Abstract
A male electrical plug and method of assembly thereof, the electrical plug including an elongated interior conductor on which a nonconducting insulator is fixed, the length of the insulator being less than that of the interior conductor and being located thereon such that during assembly an outer end and opposite inner end of the conductor are exposed. A metallic conducting sleeve is mounted on the insulator and is foreshortened relative to the outer and inner ends thereof, and a head pin is fixed to the outer exposed end of the conductor and is insulated from the sleeve by the insulator. Conducting wires are electrically connected to the exposed inner end of the conductor and to the sleeve, and a molded body or housing encapsulates the connections of the conducting wires to the conductor and sleeve.
